They wanted to figure out at way to outsmart their enemy, the cat. Many suggestions were made.

This Psalm is thought to have been written during the times when David was in the courts of Saul and he was being tempted to flee; and not trust in God but to believe that his safety was only dependent upon his actions.
I. FACING THE TEMPTATION TO FLEE A. People may be used to advise us wrongly (v. 1-3). 1. They were undermining David’s confidence in the Lord. 2. Just like Rabshakeh did to Jerusalem in Hezekiah’s day. 3. People who cannot see things from a spiritual perspective will advise us from their point of ...read more
